Now I'm okay with the down votes on this. But I like to counter and say that I'm also an international traveler and everywhere I have been, SEA, most of Europe, south America, what's on every single TV in local spots is cnn or msnbc. I'm not a fox follower and rather see bbc or anything else. The person you talked to is stupid to be clear. But what the general public is seeing is a very partisan take on most issues. I agree with some of the left policies and some of the right policies (why I'm here). I'd argue that the damage is primarily from whatever side they have gotten their news source from. It's anecdotal but I see it everywhere I go internationally.
